More about this scene

Just two miles from Wolverhampton,Tettenhall retained its two greens despite the Enclosure Commissioners. In AD910 Tettenhall was the scene of one of the most important battles in English history. It was here that Edward the Elder of Wessex defeated the Danes. The battle marked a turning point. From then onwards the English went over to the offensive, Edward's ultimate aim being the total reconquest of the Danelaw.

Edenhurst Preparatory School

Tettenhall Junior School
I remember starting Tettenhall School. I remember playing hide and seek and hid in the coal shed at the back of the school then being dragged in front of the whole school at assembly for having a black face and clothes from the coal. I remember a bus crashing through the fence off the Wergs Road which we could see from the school playground. I remember taking a sledge all the way from Claregate to ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
